The \u201cMarty Supreme\u201d Oscar campaign is off to a wild start \u2014 and it looks like the next few months are going to be pretty entertaining for all of us.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s the film\u2019s lead, and apparent Oscar frontrunner, Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet, posting a bizarre video<\/a> on social media featuring pumpkin-headed figures playing ping-pong while \u201cI am the clit commander\u201d blares in the background \u2014 not to mention his recent acceptance of the \u201cWhite Boy of the Year<\/a>\u201d award on a podcast.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Gwyneth Paltrow keeps dishing about her \u201cpalatable<\/a>\u201d sex scenes in the film, and how kissing Chalamet felt like \u201ctongue choreography,\u201d while also admitting she had no idea<\/a> who he was before working with him on \u2018Marty.\u2019<\/p>\n

Then there\u2019s Kevin O\u2019Leary, who plays Paltrow\u2019s husband in the film and claims the production wasted millions by hiring human extras \u2014 money he believes could have been saved by using AI-generated stand-ins.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlmost every scene had as many as 150 extras,\u201d O\u2019Leary told World of Travel<\/a> in an interview. \u201cThose people had to stay awake for 18 hours, fully dressed, moving around in the background \u2014 not even always visible on camera \u2014 and it cost millions of dollars to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n

The investor-turned-actor argued that the expense is outdated when artificial intelligence can easily create realistic background characters. \u201cWhy couldn\u2019t you just use AI agents in their place?\u201d he said. \u201cThey\u2019re not the main actors; they\u2019re only there visually. That same director, instead of spending $90 million, could have spent $35 million and made two movies.\u201d<\/p>\n

O\u2019Leary even pointed to an infamous digital performer as an example: \u201cTilly Norwell is an actor who\u2019s burst onto the scene \u2014 she\u2019s 100 percent AI. She doesn\u2019t exist, but she\u2019s a great actress. She can appear at any age, she doesn\u2019t need to eat, and she works 24 hours a day. The union is going out of their minds. I\u2019d argue, for the sake of art, you should allow it in certain cases \u2014 and extras are a great use case. You can\u2019t tell the difference. Just put 100 Tilly Norwells in there and you\u2019re good.\u201d<\/p>\n

I haven\u2019t even seen \u201cMarty Supreme\u201d yet, but the cast\u2019s off-screen antics have already made it one of the most entertaining campaigns of the year.<\/p>\n
